Students will launch the project by experiencing how kicks, rolls, and surfaces change a ball’s motion with a community-connected challenge, then organize first observations and user-centered questions that will guide later research, empathy work, and game design.

Students will observe and interview younger players, study how force, distance, and surfaces change ball motion, and turn those findings into a clear empathy artifact and design brief for an inclusive kick-and-roll game.

Students will turn empathy notes and force-and-motion investigation evidence into a clear design brief, sketch several different inclusive kick-and-roll game ideas, build quick low-tech prototypes, test them with peers, and complete two revision cycles before a milestone prototype check.

Students will refine and validate their inclusive kick-and-roll game kits with new users, gather final force-and-motion evidence, revise based on peer and partner feedback, and prepare a clear presentation that explains how user needs and science evidence shaped their design decisions.

Students will present their inclusive kick-and-roll game kits and Motion Makers Festival boards to younger children and community partners, explain force-and-motion evidence through live demonstrations, and complete a final reflection on how user feedback and testing changed their design and teamwork.
